Main objective of PLATINA

Establish a Establish a professional networkprofessional network bringing together all bringing together all relevant actors concerned to assist in the relevant actors concerned to assist in the implementation of the NAIADES Action Programme for implementation of the NAIADES Action Programme for Inland Waterway Transport in EuropeInland Waterway Transport in Europe

– Provision of technical expertise and support– Provision of organisational, infrastructural and financial

support– Platform deals with areas that require non-legislative,

coordinative actions at the European level

► PLATINA – Platform for the Implementation of NAIADES

PLATINA in a nutshell

PLATINA is a project within the 7th Framework Programme for Research, Technology Development and Demonstration

PLATINA is aimed at coordinating and supporting research activities and policies

PLATINA runs from June 2008 to May 2012 Consortium consists of 23 partners from 9 different

countries PLATINA is organised around the five NAIADES action

areas (Markets, Fleet, Jobs&Skills, Image, Infrastructure) PLATINA is strategically guided by key industrial

stakeholders, associations and Member States administrations

Introduction RIS Directive applies to 12+1 countries (RO, BG, HU,

SK, PL, CZ, AT, DE, NL, BE, LU, FR and HR (as candidate country))

Objective of activity: Summarize the Status of River Information Services by means of a questionnaire

Questionnaire distributed in December 2010 14 countries responded until end of March 2011

– Approx. 3.800 km of Class IV – Approx. 10.500 km of Class Va and higher– Approx. 13.000 vessels

13

Notices to Skippers (NtS) Provision of Fairway & Traffic, Water Related

and Ice Messages– 12/2010: 7 fully operational, 2 pilot, 4 in

preparation– 12/2012: 10 fully operational, 2 pilot, 1 in

preparation Provision of full text message and code format Usage of 3 different versions of XSD

ENC available free of charge: 12/2011: 13 free availability

17

Hull Data Processing National Hull Databases

– 12/2010: 6 fully operational, 4 in preparation, 1 not planned

– 12/2012: 8 fully operational, 3 pilot

18

RIS Index Object of highest and high priority are not prepared in a

harmonized way Use of RIS Index for VTT, ERI and NtS not yet in all

countries

19

International Data Exchange Trend towards international exchange of RIS information

in order to provide enhanced services Notices to Skippers Vessel Tracking and Tracing Cargo and Voyage Data Electronic Navigational Charts RIS Index Hull Data

Quality of Information Services becomes increasingly important

20

On board equipment According to information from expert groups, RIS

equipment is estimated on board of vessels: 6.000 Inland ECDIS Viewers Electronic Reporting

98% of the container vessels are reporting electronically 30% of the tanker vessel 5% of the dry cargo.

5.450 Inland AIS transponders (see before) Total approx. 13.000 vessels
